Information
Cairo's downtown tourist office , at 5 Sharia Adly (daily 9am-8pm; tel 391-3454), can supply a rather useless free map and out-of-date brochures, but little in the way of hard facts unless you speak to Laboudi, the older man who works there in the afternoons. He is a font of knowledge and can provide reliable help with booking accommodation and tours. There are also tourist offices at both airport terminals: Terminal 1 (daily 8am-9pm; tel 291-4255 ext 2223); Terminal 2 (open 24hr; tel 291-4277). Tourist information is also available at Ramses Station (daily 8am-9pm; tel 579-0767) and the Giza Pyramids (daily 8am-5pm; tel 383-8823). Should the need arise, an alleyway to the left of the Sharia Adly office gives access to the headquarters of the tourist police (open 24hr; tel 392-3642). Whether they're helpful or a waste of time largely depends on whom you encounter. Other tourist police stations can be found at Ramses Station (tel 579-0767), the new airport (tel 247-2584), the Giza Pyramids (tel 335-1862), Khan el-Khalili (tel 590-4827) and the Manial Palace (tel 363-6707).
